Blues Comparison Photo

From left to right: Pigment, Sprinkler, Rocksteady, Porcelaine. (Thanks to Ms. J for the photo.)

Re: An upload tonight - I'm looking at our chat boards on Facebook and the consensus is there will be an upload tonight. There is supposed to be a gigantic upload coming but not sure if that will be tonight's or not.

wow what a great color comparison photo, i love posts like these!! This definitely makes me sad that I missed out on all of these mid-shade blues, pigment is just a bit too dark for me and I just really started buying lulu around the time porcelain came out... hey they're doing lots of re-releases of old colors now so maybe sprinkler or rocksteady will come back if i'm patient :)

With only 4 Mondays in September prior to the end of their 3rd quarter, LLL needs big uploads with items customers want to purchase in order to bolster 3rd quarter earnings. LLL is still trying to compensate for significant 2nd quarter losses, even if those losses were hidden among expansion figures. Losses can only be hidden for the short term without falsifying SEC filing documents. Scarcity is not an option in September.

Love these blues! I hope rocksteady makes a comeback. I just started buying Lululemon early this year (my first items were Lavender dusk scoopneck and discovery stripe/aqua Practice Freely). I have a nice collection going but I'm taking a break from buying because I need other clothes too :) My favorite purchases are probably my two Define jackets and Wunder Unders (the zipper ones from WMTM and dense purple).

Good pic to show the range of the blues but agree, does not really show the true colors of each. I have Porcelaine and Pigment. I love them both. I don't need too many CRB's that are too close in color. Despite the differences, I think it could come off as wearing the same color CRB all the time. Even if I know I'm not, I don't see much point in dropping another $50 just so I can have another shade of blue. By example, the Currant color looks beautiful on line but is unappealing to me in person. I imagine a "better" red will be along that strikes me and that I desire more, so I will wait.

Got my beautiful new Pigment Blue CRB today, made Sri Lanka. Tried it on. Inspected it. Then immediately washed it with a Shout Color Catcher. GREAT NEWS is that there was ZERO bleeding :) The Color Catcher came out of the wash just as white as it went in! Great purchase!

I've noticed my latest CRBs - Currant, Flare, Power Purple - and Defines - Power Purple, Bordeaux - have come from Indonesia or countries other than China. All the big-time bleeders came from China. I wonder if lululemon moved some of their manufacturing because of the problems.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
